Target data

Function

Constitutively inactive PPiase, which becomes active when bound to calmodulin and calcium. Seems to act as a chaperone for BCL2, targets it to the mitochondria and modulates its phosphorylation state. The BCL2/FKBP8/calmodulin/calcium complex probably interferes with the binding of BCL2 to its targets. The active form of FKBP8 may therefore play a role in the regulation of apoptosis. Involved in the inhibition of viral infection by influenza A viruses (IAV) (PubMed:28169297).

Mouse, Rat: We have preliminary internal testing data to indicate this antibody may not react with these species. Please contact us for more information.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

FKBP38 also known as FK506 binding protein 8 is a member of the immunophilin protein family characterized by peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. This protein weighs approximately 42 kDa and plays significant roles in various cellular processes. FKBP38 is mainly expressed in the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum where it regulates multiple signaling pathways through its interactions with other complex proteins.

Biological function summary

FKBP38 regulates apoptosis and cell survival mechanisms. It binds to and inhibits the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL forming a complex that influences mitochondrial integrity. This interaction is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to stress signals. FKBP38's presence in these complexes highlights its role as an important modulator of cell death pathways contributing to balanced cell proliferation and survival.

Pathways

FKBP38 significantly affects the mTOR signaling pathway and the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. It interacts with important proteins such as Bcl-2 Bcl-xL and mTORC1 influencing cellular growth and apoptosis. FKBP38's regulation of mTOR signaling impacts protein synthesis cell growth and autophagy making it a critical factor in maintaining cellular metabolic balance.

Associated diseases and disorders

FKBP38 has links to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Its modulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation relates to tumor growth and cancer progression where its interaction with Bcl-2 proteins becomes relevant. Additionally FKBP38's role in neurodegenerative diseases ties to its regulation of mitochondrial function where dysregulation leads to neuronal cell death. Understanding FKBP38's connections with these diseases helps in formulating potential therapeutic strategies targeting these important proteins and pathways.
